Chapter 13, Problem 3CSL
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The structures which prevent the dopamine from reaching brain and the way through which these structures might be beneficial to the individual in different circumstances.
Concept introduction:
Decreased levels of neurotransmitter dopamine results in a disease named as Parkinson’s diseases. In this disease, the patient is not able to take dopamine in its drug forms as the drug is not able to reach the brain.

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that disrupts neural activities and causes recurrent seizures. About 70% of people with epilepsy can be treated with medication to prevent seizures from occurring. If medication does not work, surgery is an option for some patients. One of the procedures involves cutting the brain so that the seizures cannot be spread to other parts of the brain.
A common goal of the surgical procedure to treat epileptic seizures is to reduce the connection between the two hemispheres of the brain. By cutting through this structure, an epileptic seizure occurring on one side of the brain will not be spread to the other side.
Identify the structure that connects the two hemispheres of the brain.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation causes an involuntary motor output in response to a magnetic stimulation over the skull. Why do we see this output?
Include the following concepts in your response:
•neuroanatomy
•central versus peripheral nervous system
•neuron structure and direction of information flow
•hyper versus depolarization
•specific ions
•membrane potential
•diffusion and electrostatic pressure

- In PET scans, red areas are brain regions that are most active, while blue, yellow, and green areas are least active. Figure 13.24 shows PET scans of normal brain activity (left) and (right) of the brain of a person while using cocaine. The frontal lobes of the brain hemispheres are toward the top of the scans. Their neurons play major roles in reasoning and other intellectual functions. Looking at these scan images, how do you suppose cocaine may affect mental functioning?arrow_forwardThe den network of fibers that connect the two hemispheres is called the corpus Callosum. Much of what we know about the difference between the left and right hemispheres came from the study of patients with a severe form of epilepsy. To help control the number, duration, and intensity of the epileptic seizures, The corpus callosum was cut. By studying these individuals, Roger Sperry and others learned that the two hemispheres are specialized for different types of task and different modes of thought. Which hemisphere and most people would be better at putting together a puzzle? A. Neither- this is better controlled by the cerebellum B. Both are equally good at this task C. Left D. Rightarrow_forwardAlzheimer’s disease is thought to cause a DECREASE in the amount of acetylcholine (ACH) being released into the synaptic cleft in specific parts of the brain. What would be a possible treatment for this disease? (So basically- what would be a possible way to increase the amount of ACH in the synaptic cleft?)arrow_forward
- As dopamine neurotransmitters are also responsible for producing feelings of euphoria (pleasure), many people affected with Parkinson's disease suffer from depression. A common treatment for Parkinson's is Levodopa, a chemical that turns into dopamine when it passes into the brain. From what you have learned about synapses, explain if people being treated with Levodopa for Parkinson's symptoms would require additional treatment for depression?arrow_forwardA neurotransmitter is a chemical messenger that carries, boosts, and balances signals between neurons, nerve cells, and other cells in the body. a) Identify two disorders that can result in a depletion, damage, or lack of neurotransmitters in our body. Then list and explain at least two neurotransmitters that can result in these disorders developing.arrow_forwardA patient has been experiencing numbness and pain in their hands and feet during the winter. They were initially diagnosed with Reynauds (which is caused by an overactive sympathetic nervous system cutting off blood flow to the hands in the cold), but recently they have been experiencing issues with fine motor control in their hands, and the doctor is concerned that it could be Multiple Sclerosis. How could you test to see which condition is causing this? Discuss that how will you treat this patient, if they have MS?arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements is true regarding Parkinson's disease? Parkinson's disease is typically diagnosed before 40 years of age. It is possible to reverse the effects of Parkinson's disease. The loss of neurons is often accompanied by the necrosis of astrocytes and an increase in microglia. Brain imaging typically shows degeneration of neurons in the temporal lobe.arrow_forwardThe ____ and ____ are both found deep within fissures of the cerebral cortex. These two regions form a network with the amygdala and hypothalamus. Although they are also involved in other important functions, many modern imaging studies show that they activate simultaneously during the conscious experience of emotional feelings. A) anterior cingulate cortex; anterior insular cortex B) thalamus; hippocampus C) caudate nucleus; globus pallidus D) substancia nigra; ventra tegmental areaarrow_forwardPhenytoin (sodium channel blocker) and ethosuximide (calcium channel blocker) are anti-seizure drugs that stop seizures from happening. These drugs work by inhibiting electrical impulses (action potentials) from occurring. Explain the importance of sodium and calcium channels on a neuron and and the reasons why action potentials do not occur when these channels are inhibited. Be sure to include the phases of an action potential, the channels involved, and the importance of an action potential. Be detailed in your explanationarrow_forward

How could you test to see which condition is causing this? If it is MS, what is causing these symptoms? Why did it start in their hands and feet? How would you treat this patient, if they have MS?arrow_forwardReserpine is a drug that can control high blood pressure by reducing the number of catecholamine neurotransmitters present in the synapse. Epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine are examples of catecholamine neurotransmitters. One of the known side effects of reserpine is to cause the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson's disease is associated with dopamine. Parkinson's disease occurs when the nerve cells in the part of the brain that controls muscle movement are gradually destroyed and the neurons can no longer produce dopamine to coordinate muscle movements. Reserpine causes symptoms by a. inhibiting the release of dopamine from the presynaptic neuron b. blocking the dopamine receptor in the postsynaptic neuron c. breaking down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the synapse d. breaking down cholinesterase enzyme in the synapsearrow_forwardYou studied how neurotransmitter act and their use in medicine. Based on the information answer how Tetrahydrocannabinol, the active ingredient in marijuana, will binds to receptors located in the ________ terminals of certain brain neurons and lowers the likelihood that these neurons will release ________. options: postsynaptic, neurotransmitters presynaptic, neurotransmitters presynaptic, Ca2+ ions postsynaptic, Ca2+ ionsarrow_forward
